Keep public documentation history visible
Each README change becomes a small Dropbox record that helps you understand how the product story evolves.
Trigger
GitHub Repository README Changed
Triggers when the README file in a specific repository directory changes. Monitors the README in a configurable directory and branch/tag/commit. The payload includes the current README metadata (filename, path, SHA, size, URLs), the previous and current git blob SHAs, and a list of which tracked fields changed.
Action
Upload File
Uploads a file to a specified path in the user's dropbox, with options for handling existing files.
Why this helps
Documentation changes are public but their rationale and timing often disappear from working memory.
- Preserves documentation evolution
- Supports clearer review of positioning changes
- Makes onboarding and audits easier

- 2Ask Notis to save each README change and its commit context in a Dropbox history log.
- 3Select the GitHub Repository README Changed trigger and choose a reporting channel.
- 4Make one safe README edit and confirm the history entry.
